Entry: Have I Turned Against Ron Paul? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/have_i_turned_against_ron_paul#13101 Post contents: GM ... You make some good points but you make them too strongly. I'm going to refrain from rearguing some points I made in my first post that you have chosen to ignore, but reread the statistics I gave you and defend them in your own mind. I'm sure few science american graduate students do get drunk on weekends. None I've met. Since you grouped them all in a scenario you seem to know let me be a counter-bigot for a minute. I met many foreign students who get through graduate school by cheating. It seems to be in their culture. If you have experienced graduate schools you could not avoid seeing this. Like Pat Buchanan, I don't come by my "protectionist views" easily. But we are not dealing with a fair playing field. Apply to Graduate school at university of Maryland. For their application essay they will ask you how you will contribute to the "diversity" of their university. Yes, I concede they are interested in how hard you are willing to work. But not so much in your intelligence. In fact, they prefer it if you don't have a life. And your Silicon Valley comment is looking backward. They are going back to their own country to work and to teach. Silicon Valley is going to come crashing down. Intel is expanding in Israel. Tell me my tax money is not indirectly subsidizing that. Anything for the new world order right? Your arguement about foreign students supporting our universities is kind of like the argument that illegal aliens do the work Americans don't want to do and help our economy. It has the same kernel of truth, but it suffers from the same set of weaknesses. The old slippery slope. I know the situation is not the way we would have liked it when we started to intervene but what do we do about it now? The answer...like in Iraq... extricate yourself and don't blame me if it is not pretty. Sent at: 2008 07 06
